Trump, Republicans ‘Have No Solutions’
Trump, Republicans ‘Have No Solutions’
Feb. 19, 2024 Editor, The News-Gazette: While complaining that the economy is in the Dumpster, why do over 100,000 people pay an average ticket price of over $200 to attend the Daytona 500, $377 to attend an NFL game, and over $1,000 for a Taylor Swift concert ticket (transportation, food and lodging excluded). Store shelves are full, and interstates are loaded with trucks carrying commodities from greedy manufacturers! Stop buying nonessential stuff and prices will come down. Consumers drive the economy, not the president. 02/20/2024 11:00 PM

‘Imperative’ That U.S. Assistance To Ukraine Continues
Feb. 19, 2024 Editor, The News-Gazette: Words cannot begin to describe my exasperation with the House Republican leadership’s current refusal to take up legislation to provide military and humanitarian support to Ukraine in its effort to combat occupation by Russia. Perhaps the death of Alexei Navalny will change this. 02/20/2024 11:00 PM

Ben Cline ‘Betraying’ Ukraine To ‘Please Trump’
Feb. 19, 2024 Editor, The News-Gazette: In your excellent Feb. 14 editorial, “Ukraine Aid Is Good For America,” you wrote: “Supporting Ukraine now is in our direct national interest, and shouldn’t be a political football. Not voting aid to Ukraine would be a shameful and craven act.” 02/20/2024 11:00 PM
Senate Border Deal ‘Filled’ With ‘Loopholes’
Senate Border Deal ‘Filled’ With ‘Loopholes’
Feb. 19, 2024 Editor, The News-Gazette: Your editorial of Feb. 14 inaccurately states that one political party reversed its position on the “border compromise” recently considered by the Senate. The characterization by the media that Senate Republicans rejected legislation which would control illegal immigration is completely inaccurate. 02/20/2024 11:00 PM

Newspaper Issue Boils Down To Community, CharacterFeb.
17, 2024 Editor, The News-Gazette: I trust readers have been following the publisher’s informative reports on the decline of community newspapers. Matt Paxton mentioned that an average of 2.5 community papers per week shut down during 2023. 02/20/2024 11:00 PM
